Hazelton Ave <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Re: Use Permit application for Sargent Equestrian Center at 15757 E. Sargent Rd in Lodi(PA- <br /> 1900129 (UP) <br /> Dear Ms. Stowers, <br /> I write today to support the Use Permit application for Sargent Equestrian Center at 15757 E. Sargent Rd in Lodi on <br /> behalf of the carriage driving community of central California. <br /> I am President of non-profit United States Driving for the Disabled, Inc (www.usdfd.org). Our mission is to provide <br /> the extraordinary benefit of therapeutic driving to as many people as possible through sharing knowledge, <br /> experience, and senting as a resource for innovations in adaptive equipment for drivers, trainers, and programs <br /> offering carriage driving. <br /> Sargent Equestrian Center has been very supportive of our mission and has hosted our Para Equestrian Drivers at <br /> various clinics. They have gone out of their way to provide an accessible facility, parking for trucks, horse trailers <br /> and stables all easily reachable by a wheelchair. There are not many top class facilities in the West that can <br /> provide such an accessible experience. Whether it is a clinic, show or just a play day, they provide a needed <br /> facility in a Central location of California. <br /> As a top competitor in Open Competition along with being an individual with Paraplegia, I would hate to lose such a <br /> wonderful facility. It is very difficult to find carriage driving venues , and to lose one would be a great loss to the <br /> sport of Carriage Driving. <br /> I fully support Sargent Equestrian Centers mission. <br /> Thank you for your consideration, <br /> Diane Kastama <br /> 620 Matilija Lane <br /> Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 <br /> 805-458-2428 <br /> dkastama@vedzon.net <br /> President United States Driving for the Disabled, Inc. <br /> FEI Silver Medal of Honor <br /> 6 time Medalist in FEI Para Equestrian World Championships for Single Drivers <br /> zirrbra/zimbra/Wphntmessage?id=58700&tz=America/LasAngeles 112 <br />
